Developer API Experience Survey
DX feedback from the people integrating you: docs, errors, and time-to-first-call.
4 questions · 1 page · about 2 minutes to answer · fully editable after you start
Developers evaluate an API in the first hour: how fast the first successful call happens, whether the docs match reality, and whether error messages help or taunt. This survey measures that first-hour experience plus the longer-term friction of SDKs, rate limits, and versioning.
The time-to-first-successful-call answer is your DX north star – every improvement to it compounds through every future integration. The error-message question will hurt; read it anyway.

Opens in the Light theme, or in your own default theme if you have set one — change it anytime to any of the 4 built-in looks, or build your own on a paid plan.
